In 2023, Germany led European solid fossil fuels consumption in paper, pulp, and printing sectors with 38.94 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, followed by Poland and Austria. Sweden and Bosnia and Herzegovina had significant reductions, reflecting a general move towards reduced fossil fuel usage. Bulgaria and Serbia showed notable increases, with Bulgaria experiencing a 22.68% rise. Most other countries demonstrated slight declines or modest growth, suggesting a mixed regional trend towards sustainable energy choices. Over the last five years, shifts indicate a steady decrease in fossil fuel consumption.
Future trends to monitor include:
- An ongoing transition to renewable energy sources, potentially reducing fossil fuel dependence.
- Policy changes and technological developments influencing sustainable practices in the paper, pulp, and printing sectors.
- Potential geopolitical factors impacting energy supply and consumption in Europe.
